it's easy to source and build pretty big IB systems; how much so with SCI? I actually like the idea of high-fanout-distributed-router systems, but they seem prepetually exotic. where are the hypercubes, FNNs? afaikt, commodification of IB has snuffed topology as a design issue, except for cray/BG/k machine-level projects. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
